After a chaotic Week 6 of the 2025 college football season in which top-10 Penn State and Texas teams lost on the road against unranked opponents, Week 7 was slightly more normal.
Only slightly, though.
No. 7 Indiana went on the road and knocked off No. 2 Oregon 30-20 to snap the Ducks' 18-game home win streak at Autzen Stadium. It was a resounding victory for coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers, who made the College Football Playoff last season, but whose multi-possession losses against the only two ranked teams they faced raised questions about just how good they actually were. Now, with transfer quarterback Fernando Mendoza leading the way, those concerns have largely vanished.

Elsewhere in the sport, No. 6 Oklahoma fell to No. 19 Texas in the Red River Rivalry, with Sooners quarterback John Mateer tossing three interceptions in his first game back after undergoing hand surgery last month. No. 8 Alabama knocked off No. 14 Missouri 27-24, continuing the hot run for coach Kalen DeBoer and his team after an embarrassing season-opening loss to Florida State. No. 1 Ohio State continued to show why it might be the best team in the sport, rolling past No. 17 Illinois 34-16.
